Implantology replaces it with an implant set in the jaw and a crown matched to the neighbouring teeth.
Suitability is decided after the bone and gums are examined. When the foundation is right, the replacement is fixed and planned to sit quietly in the smile.
The sequence is set before the first step: whether a temporary tooth is needed, how long the implant is left to settle before the crown, and what eating and cleaning ask of you in between. Neighbouring teeth and the gum line are part of that plan, so the crown is not drawn as if it stood alone. If the bone needs more time, or an implant is not the clearer choice, that is said at the consultation.
Timing, the number of visits, and what healing asks of you are set out in consultation.
